After graduating, Tilōno is excited to begin her career as a librarian, hoping to focus on life sciences research support - her passion. But when she receives news of her appointment, she finds herself summoned to the Hall of Oracles, a secure collection that holds many centuries of texts collected from oracular sites around the world. Just as she is starting to settle in, a reference question leads her into the stacks to find precious books sabotaged and pages missing. To solve the mystery and safeguard the Hall's critical collections, Tilōno must join forces with Tilsa, the Hall's inexperienced new director. Together, they must navigate their differences to unravel the truth of what happened.
A MATTER OF ORACLES is a hieropoeic speculative novella that explores the transition to adulthood, the power of libraries, and the importance of mentorship. Readers who enjoy conlangs, non-Earth settings, and ancient deities may enjoy this story.
